Abstract :
Two small antennas loaded by varactor diodes and fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) and coaxial probe are presented. Varactor diodes made these antennas frequency agile. An important tuning frequency range of ~800 MHz was obtained and an application for different communication standards realised
